“Helping you to help your broker to help you”

Overview

This simple phrase summarizes the primary purpose of this book. Too often importers are overly reliant on their customs broker to manage all of the minute details of the import entry process only to find out later that the regulators hold the importer primarily accountable for any errors the broker makes. Importing into the U.S. is a complex multifaceted process. This text delves into the regulatory aspects of the U.S. importing process, specifically the U.S. customs entry.

U.S. Import Regulations will cover the following:

What are the regulations & who are the regulators?
Determining the entered value
Country of origin and origin marking requirements
Classification according to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule
Determining duties and fees
The Customs entry process
Auditing a Customs entry
Record keeping
Customs enforcement
Current Importing issues
Customs and port security initiatives
